Larry Nance - 1984 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (Champion)

[@phedcenter1392]

I wish they showed some of these dunks in slow motion. It helps you to clearly see and appreciate the skill involved in a dunk.

[@TehDukeify]

[@ughugh9]

[@jaylanhibbard4813]

+Steven Xu haha of course! Gotta watch LNJ's roots after that nasty dunk!

[@WhoIsEthanFN]

Same

[@visorview9651]

Why suddenly I felt like the dunk contest was very competitive than nowadays?? Those dunk were far more electrifying.

[@eliebechara3811]

It's amazing how Erving was 34 at the time and participating in the dunk contest despite that. WOW

[@yuichi_ha_kushy]

wow.. to this day i don't think i've ever seen someone else attempt and nail that first dunk, that was impressive

[@koko40800]

Wow he beat Dr. J and Dominique Wilkins in this contest

[@jakelouistanglao4770]

his 1st dunk is fckng underrated ,,, top 10 all time

[@TheFlanzil]

Who’s Here From The 2018 Dunk Contest😂

[@jesusmata2910]

TheFlanzil me but he lost smh lol

[@mykelmical]

2019 here lol

[@Turbo3306]

Here

[@kylelowry1521]

2020

[@Mike_Benz_]

He nails every dunk first try, what a beast.

[@givecamichips]

His cradle dunks were subtly different and since they came from different angles they all looked different enough to not get penalized. I especially liked the 3rd one where he almost layed it in except it still had power.

[@joetastic3594]

2:26 RIP Dominique Wilkins

[@eliebechara3811]

Joetastic lol epic

[@maxt2534]

Lol

[@mr.takeyobih209]

Lol

[@BasketballJones48021]

Iconic performance. Head above the rim with ease.

[@johnking7535]

That first jam is insanse.

[@danlivni2097]

Larry Nance has some great NBA numbers. Life time he's a 546% shooter averaging 17.1 points a game.

[@ivorecksbtw-6353]

Dan Livni he better than LeBron

[@dickdick5708]

who else is here because of the slamdunk 2018 Larry Nance JR.???🙋

[@IzWhiteII]

Why are so many people so proud to not know Larry Nance Sr., before watching a present-day dunk contest? Shoot, atleast, now you know where Jordan got his style from.

[@EMWELL]

Cradles were nasty🔥

[@johnking7535]

Yo, his first dunk was insane.

[@TheSham3223]

one of the best dunkers every, also those were the worst judges. If Larry Nance did those dunks in last years dunk contest he would get all 50s

[@kreglfromworld]

shane montoya he'd get 30s, you have to admit dunking has evolved like crazy

[@garse70]

The double dunk was insane.

[@iwantmoney10]

Those were some smooth dap up at 6:40

[@10MinsToLearnIt]

He practiced it lolll

[@daliray1388]

Like Father Like Son Who came here from GSW vs Lakers?

[@AEMoreira81]

His son's dunk on Brook Lopez brought me here.

[@tma2612]

Flight Ray Me

[@Zack-uw1re]

Most underrated player ever

[@AndrejDukic]

4:49 For those of you looking for the famous photo.

[@Defender78]

awsome freeze frame of him in mid-windmill, damn!

[@GNFALLEN]

Awesome expect his son can win slam dunk contest too 😎

[@Maverickcreatedthis]

He hit that same cradle dunk like 5 times bruh

[@Silverbeat15]

Maverickcreatedthis hahahah

[@FraternalHouse]

Peeps were tired of Dr.J winning all the time.

[@silentbutdeadly3466]

Larry was slept on.

[@MrAitraining]

Larry Nance! first yr of the NBA Slam Dunk contest and beats Dr. J in the finals.

[@TheChosenMoose01]

Did the same dunk 3 times, wins the contest.

[@combatenthusiast6297]

Da Moose You're comparing modern day to now, we have the benefit in modern times to look back and copy, they were pioneers inventing it.

[@TheChosenMoose01]

Dr.J should have won.

[@ericmsandoval]

Exactly. Most boring dunker ever.

[@verdellcouncil6616]

Dominique did same dunks every time and won twice

[@gerryfimoi443]

Who's here from Larry nance jrs dunk contest dunk?

[@hmmm9272]

GErry Fimoi hahaha

[@jacobmonson82]

Best Dad and Son dunkers

[@DARK24-7]

Mr.Nance is one of my fave players.

[@condiekittles671]

Larry Nance Jr, very athletic with a nice verticle like Sr. But doesn’t have his father’s skill set. Just his hair line and athleticism.

[@JPLMONEY23]

You can hear Michael Cooper telling Nance @6:12 "Give me a grand at least!" LOLZ

[@cornbreadmilton5265]

It might had been Dawkins cause he came in 4th.

[@JPLMONEY23]

@@cornbreadmilton5265 yea could be.

[@chrisyasus5563]

Damn... exciting! & 1:02 first sight of Dominique... Such a predator like an alligator

[@kylein9869]

What lol

[@louisv64]

I hope Larry nance jr brings out the cradle dunks there dope

[@kingshearer2]

The socks were great back then

[@philosophpascal]

44????? wilkins got 49,9 for every windmill years later -.-

[@felipeamaral8061]

For hardcore dunk fans that first dunk almost looks like a scorpion dunk

[@frigidtsunami]

Lance Jr going to take it this 2018 dunk contest.

[@v9productions]

So did he not just do the scorpion dunk as his first dunk?😱

[@nathansmith6193]

Ok..... please people. Senior did it best. He just did. The very first dunk he attempted, head under the rim while slinging his arm backwards for the slam. Jr. couldn’t hit that

[@prayingmantis6777]

The Doctor? You mean Julius E-R-V-I-I-I-I-N-G !

[@bruthabubba50]

Effortless 💯❤️👑

[@thadeus____5815]

dunk contest 2018 larry nance jr.

[@teofemo7000]

When are the current players going to evolve to where they are jumping as high as Larry Nance? Or David Thompson? What player is more gifted than Ralph Sampson was? 7-4 small forward coordination.

[@kingshearer2]

I'm not sure how the scoring works is it how loud the sound is when it hits the net or how much arm waving goes on leading up to the dunk or how loud the crowd decide to cheer?

[@TeMokoha]

Who is still watching in 2019

[@Viradj12]

That first dunk made me like fast, then i saw it was like nr. 420.. nice

[@PickoWebba]

Larry Nance Jr. dunked all over Ezeli

[@karmankandola3924]

[@PickoWebba]

[@massimosgarbini3982]

Jordan took it to the next level doing it in games

[@matsepematsepe4182]

I had to see who it was ,and damn I must , say he has got skill.

[@Olu00]

is it me or did he do the same cradle dunks at least 4 times

[@jay999tv]

The crowd is dead lol

[@joeyslats31]

Why dont people do cradle dunks anymore?

[@sijigs]

should've joined in on this year's comp to teach thse young bucks a thing or two

[@jerronsmith164]

The first ever between the legs dunk was this dunk contest by Orlando Woolridge idk how he ain’t win fr

[@MrStewart-gu7ru]

Your son brought me here 💪💯

[@night_crawler16-gg9xl]

Seems like the announcer is a race caller in secretariat era in horse racing! 😂😂😂

[@scottdavidson7001]

Nance had a bit of a flair. If Erving had not missed windmill....he might have won. Watched Dr.J throw one down over Nance in a game 1986. Dr.J had hops for a guy in his latter 30's. Nance got him on this day thou. Very smooth\fluid dunks. Back then you could not miss. I don't care much for today's dunk contest. Lacks flair and excitement. Guys miss all the time. Or guys attempt dunks they simply cannot do. Perhaps change the rules....tally total points to win. Have them jump from certain areas. Tell them which dunks they must do. Just throwing ideas out there....

[@devonseabrooks10]

This announcer is the worrrssssseeeee

[@JPLMONEY23]

@4:20 "With his chin above the rim." LOLZ

[@BaldHeadSosa]

Just here because his son pulled off the dunk

[@hmmm9272]

Meek Money lool

[@amadeuscarven9674]

Larry nance Chin above the rim wow

[@andranik70]

[@pegaso3terminator75]

Mr Nance The Legend!

[@x15tian]

Who else is here because of his son in the dunk contest??

[@chrisbasiluabo1234]

Who came here for his son dunk contest 2018

[@emojimr4427]

If it ain't broke don't fix it

[@felixcsao4184]

Who came here from 2018 All star dunk contest

[@itsv7544]

first dunk, scorpion by jordankillganon

[@southwest702]

Javale Mcgee did it in the dunk contest too

[@JuniusR]

It def was the inspiration..Kenny "sky" Walker also did it in the late 80's..

[@BrockAband]

It's crazy how his dunks would have no chance in today's slam dunk contest

[@logan7042]

Yea but most players would never survive the aggressive play of the 80's

[@adub92199]

He would just adjust he got bounce

[@ghost3337]

Lol how many of the dunkers of today can pull off their gimmick dunks on the first try? Two?

[@combatenthusiast6297]

Brock Aband If they had all the dunks we have learned about today they would be able to do them.

[@joeyslats31]

You ever seen a modern dunk contest parcipiant cul the ball like that? No one, apart from his son last night.

[@eb5857]

Great leaper

[@marcocazon2209]

el mejor matador de un slam dunk. y el más seguro.

[@Lott0Jay]

[@manueldarby3160]

Dunk at 4:50 is godly

[@locoho]

[@creoleDJ]

My God! That PA announcer is so damned annoying...he could give an aspirin a headache! 🤬

[@joshuapauljames1557]

Hmmm some of the dunk contests back in the day were nice... but that performance would have been laughed out of the building anytime in the last 20 yrs

[@noahlangdon414]

Larry nance Why he wearin pants

[@heeroyuy809]

No doubt he was the first champ of slams" to bad his son doesn't won

[@ethanliang1727]

ProtozTer no he wasn't adopted you fucking dumbass. His mother is white.

[@acebandagedaclown4215]

very boring dunks

[@shiningking]

This guy is 6'11 and dunking like that

[@emojimr4427]

He invented the windmill what wrong with your generation ... He invented this dunk off the top of his head and unlike players today he had no prior video or knowledge to modify his dunk

[@ericmsandoval]

Lmao literally the most boring dunk contest winner I’ve ever seen

[@shiningking]

But this guy is 6'11 man...and this era was the era when players just started to make the game modernized

[@cameronortiz7852]

the first dude to do the windmill
